Music video
A music video directed made by Tim & Barry to accompany the release of "That's Not Me" was first released on YouTube on 13 April 2014, at a total length of 3:04.[3] It was preceded by a short documentary shot on VHS[4] in a style intended to invoke early grime DVDs such as Lord of the Mics and Practice Hours. This video, which had a budget of £80, won the Award for Best Video at the 2014 MOBO Awards.[5]
